Well I was over at my dad's shop yesterday and as usual I was chatting with the electronic repair man next door and he has this pig hunk of glass sitting there. Turns out it's a lens from a TV that he was fixing and wasn't repairable or something along those lines. Surprisingly enough he actually let me have it!  :eek: And since it's an optic out of a TV this thing is polished really nicely. I know it can easily destroy ants and your hand if you're not paying attention in the sun. I haven't really used it much with any of my lasers yet but the focal point is a ways away since across my room it only turns the beam into a dot about the size of a golfball. So here are two pictures for now so you can get somewhat of an idea of what this thing is like.  ;D

Damn I might be able to grab one of those out of an old projection tv that we don't want anymore...
